You are talking about individuals coming in contact with incarcerated persons, who can't walk away, can't get out.

My official request is that you find the capacity for collecting that data and submitting it to this committee.

What does it mean when you have the leading officer in the Nation, the President, describe Latinx people as drug dealers?

Not to be dominated by words spoken from a podium about throwing out the ballots.

We have always--from Texas, we are always in the midst of, unfortunately, voter suppression every election.

I hope by your statement that we can make this public knowledge and demand the Justice Department to do its job.

This attorney general has so far refused to allow DOJ to open a pattern or practice investigation into systematic racial discrimination.

We need a real attorney general, someone who can really talk about the reality of what is going on on the streets.

I remember clearly in the year 2000 the intimidation, using a database from Texas, of turning away people who had done their time.

The fact that we have now found ourselves in a situation where people have to question whether or not the Department of Justice is a place that will vindicate civil rights.

Intimidation at the polls by poll watchers in Latinx and African-American polling.

We have always--from Texas, we are always in the midst of, unfortunately, voter suppression every election.

Access to the ballot is the right of every eligible citizen

They should boldly adhere to their dicta or their--excuse me, their directions or their mission and tell the American people through outreach that that is a secure way of voting

What should the Voting Rights Section top priorities be right now as we move into an election where the president of the United States said, 'Throw away the ballots?'

I hope that we are making that statement.

As we go into a very tumultuous voting period, November 3rd, we need the protectors of the American people in the DOJ.

Black lives matter. Black women lives matter.

I have introduced over and over again... comprehensive immigration reform which would take everyone who was seeking to become a citizen...

The Constitution has been viewed and it is most effective as a living breathing document to ensure that all the nuances of America are protected under the law.

It is appalling. We have to get to the bottom of it.

Even the Speaker of the House has indicated that we need to find out how medical care is rendered in this center.

It is frantic, that some of these individuals may have already been deported.

We made a large step in making the statement that we're calling on a Congressional investigation.

Frankly, I think paperwork, which is part of the problem of a very large department, had her moving from Houston, all the way to Chicago.
